China-Singapore Jingwei, December 12 - Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Department of Natural Resources** news, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Department of Natural Resources recently announced the "Notice on Strict Bauxite Resource Allocation and Establishment of an Annual Mining Total Mining Regulation and Control System" (Draft for Comments) (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice") to solicit opinions from the public. It is proposed that enterprises should be encouraged to use overseas bauxite resources, and enterprises that use imported bauxite resources should be inclined to support the allocation of total mining indicators.
The notice makes it clear that the allocation of bauxite resources must comply with the control requirements of land and space planning, mineral resources planning, ecological and environmental protection, as well as the relevant provisions of the national and autonomous region industrial policies and mining rights management. According to the progress of resource exploration, the resource holding of existing mining enterprises, and the situation of extending the chain and strengthening the chain, and fully considering the spatial relationship between the ore type, ore body distribution and existing mining rights, the differential mode is selected to allocate resources in an orderly manner.
Encourage enterprises to carry out intensive processing of bauxite in the zone to ensure the demand for bauxite resources from deep processing enterprises with a more complete industrial chain. No new mining rights for sedimentary bauxite may be granted until the technical feasibility and economic rationality have been fully demonstrated, except that it must be mined together with stacked bauxite. Encourage enterprises to strengthen the research of low-grade stacked bauxite and sedimentary bauxite beneficiation and smelting technology.
According to the notice, the following circumstances may be transferred by agreement:
1) Bauxite resources that have not been disposed of for compensation within the scope of the established bauxite mining rights and the deep or upper part of the plane;
2) Scattered bauxite resources outside the scope of existing bauxite mining rights that are not suitable for separate mining rights;
3) Surrounding non-sporadic bauxite resources with no other mining rights in the vicinity of the established bauxite mining rights and extending along the inclination and strike of the designed mining body;
4) Bauxite resources in the cracked area with a distance of about 300 meters between adjacent bauxite mining rights of the same subject;
5) Due to the requirements of ecological environmental protection, land and spatial planning and the management and control requirements of "three zones and three lines", the bauxite resources have been deducted when handling the conversion of bauxite prospecting rights to mining rights or the continuation of mining rights, and have now met the relevant control requirements.
Bauxite resources that meet the conditions for transfer and can be independently established for mining rights can be transferred by way of bidding. It is necessary to comprehensively consider the extension of the aluminum industry chain in the area, the advancement of metallurgical technology, the utilization of overseas resources, the nearby utilization of resources, the comprehensive utilization of red mud and other factors to determine the bid evaluation standards, and formulate bidding documents to carry out the bidding work in combination with the amount of bauxite resources of the bidding enterprises.
Based on the requirements of mine safety production and the rationality of the setting of mining rights, the bauxite resources in the crack area with a distance of about 300 meters between the adjacent bauxite mining rights of different entities can be allocated to one of the entities by way of listing.
The circular also proposes to implement total volume control. The total annual mining volume of bauxite in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region shall not exceed the sum of the designed annual production scale of the existing mining rights in the region, and the total annual mining volume of each bauxite mine shall not exceed the designed annual production scale. According to the regulation and control of the total mining volume in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the design annual production scale of the newly established bauxite mining rights shall be scientifically determinedEncourage enterprises to use advanced and applicable mining and smelting technology, strengthen mining and smelting technology research, and improve resource utilization efficiency. Encourage enterprises to use overseas bauxite resources, and give preferential support to enterprises that use imported bauxite resources in the allocation of total mining indicators.
